This Star is a bit Salty

Jared intends to convince Barris.

He said, "Barris, you've seen the first episode of that cartoon. Don't you think it's a marketable one?"

Barris said: "If you only watch the first episode, there is indeed some market. But I still don't think that a Yan Guo cartoon can help us get out of the current predicament."

Jared frowned and said, "Balis, you are prejudiced against Yan Guo cartoons."

Ballis said: "No, Jared, what I'm talking about is the truth. No country in the West has imported cartoons from the Yan Kingdom, which is enough to explain everything. Of course, I'm not talking about the Yan Kingdom's animations. The film is not good. It's a cultural difference, their cartoons are not suitable for our country."

Jared said: "There are indeed cultural differences. Not every good cartoon of Yan Guo is suitable for our country. However, I think "Transformers" is an exception. "Transformers" will be very suitable. Barry Sis, I think we should give it a try. Since cartoons in our own country and in Western countries can't help us out of the predicament. So why not try a new one? Maybe it will work?"

After thinking for a long time, Barris finally said: "Okay, Jared. You are right. Let's try it out. We just have to keep the price as low as possible. Also, do you need to go to the Yan Kingdom to talk about it in person? "

Jared said: "Of course the price will be kept as low as possible. But I will only be relieved if I go to the Yan Kingdom to talk about it myself. Barris, you may not know that the author of that cartoon has a very special reputation in the Yan Kingdom. High popularity. He has achieved high achievements in many fields. It seems more sincere for me to go in person."

Ballis said: "Jared, you seem to be exaggerating."

Jared said: "Maybe. But from what I've heard, that's it. I'm actually a little skeptical. But anyway, I think he should be a very capable person. I should go and meet him in person. talk."

Ballis said, "Okay, Jared, good luck!"

Jared said, "Thank you! I think I'll have good luck."

...

Yuanxi Village.

After a long journey, Jared finally arrived at Yuanxi Village.

Gong Zhangming was also accompanied.

Jared invited Gong Zhangming as an introduction person, of course Gong Zhangming had no opinion.

Gong Zhangming has been staying in Xianxian Town for the past two days.

Then wait for Jared to come.

Jared arrived at Xunxian Town yesterday evening.

After resting for a night, then this morning, the two went to Yuanxi Village together.

At the entrance of the village.

Jared looked around for a while, and then said, "Gong, is this village really as magical as you said? Apart from the beautiful scenery and high popularity, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it!"

Gong Zhangming smiled and said, "The special thing is naturally in the village. You can't see it here."

Jared said: "Okay, then let's go into the village and take a good look. Also, Gong, is Mr. Li Han really as good as you say? Is he really good at many fields?"

Gong Zhangming said: "Yes. Besides, he should be more powerful than I said. And he is still very young. Jared, after you meet him, don't doubt his strength because of his age."

Jared said: "Of course not. There are geniuses in this world. Young does not mean lack of strength."

Gong Zhangming said with a smile, "Yes, that's right. By the way, should we visit the village first, or should we go to Mr. Li Han to discuss cooperation?"

Jared said: "Let's talk about cooperation first. After the cooperation is negotiated, the mood of visiting the village will be better."

Gong Zhangming smiled again: "That's true. Then I'll tell Mr. Li Han now."

Jared nodded. "Thank you. Gong."

...

In a reception room in the farm office building.

Li Han met Jared and Gong Zhangming.

After Li Han and Jared shook hands, he smiled and said, "Mr. Jared, welcome to Yuanxi Village! I am very honored to have you come."

Jared said: "Thank you! I am also very honored to be here. Mr. Li Han, you are much younger than I thought."

Li Han smiled and said, "I'm very glad that Mr. Jared said so."

After the two exchanged a few words, they naturally got down to business.

The business is actually simple, mainly because of the copyright fee introduced by Jared.

Now is the first season of "Transformers", a total of 35 episodes, each episode 25 minutes.

And how much is each episode? Once it's settled, it's over.

Jared asked Li Han first, "I don't know how Mr. Li Han intends to sell it?"

Li Han asked Jared what was his budget?

If the price is low, Li Han will definitely not sell it.

It's not that Li Han cares about the price, but that a work like "Transformers" that is destined to become a classic cannot be sold at a low price.

The price is low, and I am sorry for this classic work of the previous life.

If it was bought by a domestic TV station, Li Han could sell it at a lower price.

But now that Jared's Houghton TV is up for grabs, it can't sell low.

Jared pondered for a while, but bid first.

He bid 120,000 episodes, the unit is the currency unit of the Yan Kingdom.

The production cost of animation is very high.

The cost of animation per minute can range from thousands of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, or even higher.

Of course, except for those cartoons that are very rough.

The cost of Qinghe Animation's production of "Transformers" is about 20,000 per minute, and the production cost of one episode is about 500,000.

The price Li Han sold to domestic TV stations was almost 150,000 yuan per episode.

The price is not too low. Just selling cartoons, Li Han has already made money exponentially.

Generally speaking, the main income of animation is often not by selling the animation itself, but by various derivative products in the later stage.

Now Jared is bidding 120,000 episodes, which is actually not that low.

However, what he wants to buy now is "Transformers", which is a bit low.

Of course, this does not mean that Jared's sincerity is not enough.

If it is an animation from other companies, this price is actually a high price.

No way, now the TV station is very strong. They tend to drive down the price of cartoons.

Therefore, it is very difficult for current cartoons to recover their costs simply by selling them to TV stations.

Of course, except for Li Han's cartoons.

TV stations dare not lower the price of Li Han's cartoons.

It's just that Li Han didn't sell it at a high price.

If he wants to sell at a high price, there will definitely be TV stations willing to buy an episode of 200,000 or 300,000.

Therefore, Jared thought that the price he gave was enough to make Li Han extremely excited.

For one thing, the price is really not that low.

Second, he is the Languo Hughton TV station. A big TV station in Languo wants to buy it. It is also a very face-saving thing to spread out.

So, Jared wins.
